7 Days Bordeaux to Dordogne Biking Tour Package
Duration: 7 Days / 6 NIghts Priced From: $6,995 pp dbl. occ. Dates: May, Jun, Aug, Sep Start/Finish: Bordeaux / Brive-la-Gaillarde


“How can we make the Dordogne Valley better?” we asked ourselves a while back. The answer turned out to be pretty simple: go west… to Bordeaux. On this, the ultimate food-and-wine double-header, we’ll move steadily back in time from Left Bank to Right on into the Dordogne Valley. We begin in Bordeaux, where the riding is as smooth as a Château Mouton Rothschild (trust us, you’ll find out soon enough). Then, it’s eastward to the Dordogne Valley, land of medieval castles, Cro-Magnon cave paintings and cuisine worth fighting a hundred-year war over. Between the succulent feasts and almost daily wine tastings, you’ll also experience some of France’s best biking through rolling walnut woods and truly stunning landscapes. Your palate wants to go already.
